Chapter 328: Add more fire
Hearing Hu Luguang's name, Mu Tipo was stunned, and the attitude towards Steward Li who was very happy and enthusiastic just now was gone, replaced by a blue face, and then said coldly: "I'll talk about this later, Steward Li has just come to our Yecheng, and the road has been bumpy, and these goods have not been handed over yet, so let's wait for Steward Li to deal with the matter at hand, and then visit Prime Minister Hu!" ”
Seeing the change in Mu Tipo's expression, Steward Li secretly laughed in his heart, and then pretended not to know, and continued to stimulate Mu Tipo and said: "It's okay, tonight is General Mu's banquet, of course I have to go to the banquet first!" It's just a matter of visiting Prime Minister Hu Cheng, but it's an important matter related to whether our general firm can continue to trade with your Qi country in the future, and the stakes are very high, so I have to be so nervous! ”
Sure enough, hearing that Hu Luguang was so crucial and important in the eyes of the general trading house, Mu Ti Po was even more uncomfortable, and listening to their statement, it seemed that he valued this Hu Lu Guang very much, thinking that he would take a higher position in the court of Qi and hold greater power, which made Mu Ti Po feel very uncomfortable!
You must know that Hu Luguang is already very accomplished and prominent, and his younger brother Hu Luxian is also in an important position, serving as the hussar general of Qi State, guarding the border and deterring the Turks! So now Hu Luguang is full of nobles, and the family is extremely prosperous! And his daughter is Gao Wei's queen, and Hu Luguang is also a very good army general, so Hu Luguang, as the ruler of the country, has always been the pillar of Qi State, and he has just led the Qi army to repel the Eastern Expedition of Zhou State, and has made great achievements, plus now Gao Changgong is being suppressed by Gao Wei, so Hu Luguang still holds the military power of Qi State!
Because Hu Luguang has been renewing his life for the stormy Qi State by himself, and has been serving as the commander of the Qi army, Mu Tipo, who had just slowly entered the center of power by virtue of the relationship between his mother Lu Lingxuan and Gao Wei's sycophants, also had the intention of climbing the relationship with Hu Luguang, an important minister of Qi State, so he lowered his voice and proposed to Hu Luguang directly, hoping to marry one of Hu Luguang's concubines as his wife!
But Hu Luguang, who is upright, looks down on a villain like Mu Ti Po who relies on relationships and sycophants to climb up, so he directly rejected Mu Ti Po's proposal, which made Mu Ti Po and Lu Lingxuan, who had already dropped their value, feel very embarrassed, and turned to Hu Lu Guang very resentful!
Even the current Shangshu right servant of the State of Qi, Zu Yan, was once humiliated by Hu Luguang, saying that he was an insatiable villain who would only use intrigues and tricks to frame others, and now even the blind man has entered the center of the court as an official, and the country will definitely be ruined!
So Zu Yan colluded with Lu Lingxuan and formed a small gang against Hu Luguang, and has been looking for various opportunities to eradicate Hu Luguang's henchman, so now Steward Li of this general firm has been saying all kinds of good things about Hu Luguang in front of Mu Ti Po, which makes Mu Ti Po feel very unhappy, and thus her resentment towards Hu Lu Guang is even greater!
。。。。。。
At the banquet, Mu Tipo, who had been sullen, kept drinking and drinking, and her face became more and more unsightly, because this Steward Li still kept mentioning the word Hu Luguang, which made people feel that the main purpose of the general business house coming to Yecheng this time was to meet Hu Luguang! schoolgirl
"Steward Li, you've been talking about General Hu all night, is he really that important in the eyes of your general firm?" Mu Ti Po said coldly, if other people always Hu Lu Guang in front of him, saying how powerful Hu Lu Guang is, Mu Ti Po will definitely kill him directly, but this is the Li Steward of the General Commercial Bank, which makes Mu Ti Po have to hold back the anger in his heart, and can only still greet Li with a smile.
"Yes, you must know that this Hu Xiangguo and Gao Changgong are known as the imperial twin of your Qi State, and this time he also led your Qi army to defeat the famous generals of the Zhou State, Yu Wenxian and Wei Xiaokuan, who shocked the world, and firmly blocked the Zhou State in the pass, since he has made such a great achievement, I believe that the Qi State Court will definitely reward Hu Xiangguo, and I heard that the current Queen of Qi is Hu Xiangguo's own daughter, with this relationship, he must be a pivotal figure in your Qi State court in the future! Therefore, those of us who rely on you important ministers to maintain our business, of course, we must take precautions and get closer to these big men in advance, so that our general trading house will still have the help of you high-ranking officials and important ministers! Steward Li, who was already drunk and flushed, said with a flattering face.
"Really? General Hu is the commander of the army of our Qi State, and he has always led troops to fight abroad, and he has not participated in political affairs in the court of our Qi State, let alone is responsible for the affairs related to the trade of your Chen State, why are you so sure that General Hu can help you in the future and continue to trade with our Qi State? Mu Tiva asked in a cold tone.
"Hehe, General Mu is pretending to be confused, and asking knowingly!" Steward Li said drunkenly, but then as if he had done something wrong, he looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Hasn't General Mu heard a ballad about Hu Xiangguo?" The song of a hundred liters, a bright moon, a high mountain, and a mistletoe! I heard that this ballad has spread all over the streets and alleys of Yecheng, even those children are singing, and even to our Chen Guo, do you say that our general firm can not pay attention to it? ”
Sure enough, Mu Tiva's face changed, and he drank two glasses of wine before he recovered, and then pretended to be calm and said: "This ballad is actually a ballad deliberately made up by Zhou Guo in order to divide the relationship between our majesty and General Hu, how can you believe it?" You must know that General Hu is loyal to our Qi country, and he is full of dignitaries, how could he do such a rebellious thing? Therefore, Steward Li, you outsiders, don't be deceived by others, our Majesty will not fall for this discordant plan of the Zhou State! ”
"Hehe, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, what are they thinking in their hearts, how can anyone else know except himself? And as the so-called times create heroes, there are some things that this person may not want to do, but the people around him are forcing him to do it! Steward Li suddenly smiled ghostly and said mysteriously.
Then Steward Li pointed to himself and said: "Just like our General Firm, now Chen Qi and the two are still fighting, I heard that our Majesty is going to continue to wage war against your Qi State, but now we are risking being accused by others of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and we have traveled long distances to transport these goods to Yecheng, just because we have been attacked by the Yinhai Commercial Bank everywhere in the Chen Kingdom, and the business has been in crisis, I believe that General Mu has also heard that this Yinhai Commercial Bank has almost annexed our General Commercial Bank, right?" If it weren't for the fact that our ancestor boss made a quick decision at that time and dedicated all the profits of the general trading house to the national treasury, it is estimated that there would be no general trading house in the world now! So now we can only risk trading with your Qi country! Otherwise, with the backstage of the prince, their Yinhai Commercial Bank will sooner or later make another attack on our general trading bank! You see, like our two commercial houses that belong to the same country, they have to fight to the death, so in the face of interests, the so-called court party struggle is not right or wrong, there is no difference between loyalty and treachery, only who wins and who loses! ”
"Therefore, Hu Xiangguo may be loyal to your Qi court now, and he doesn't have the slightest idea, but the court is a party fight, and the courts of all countries have it! The crown prince of our Chen State and King Xing have been fighting, but now King Xing has been transferred to Xiangzhou, and our young owner has been dismissed! Otsuka Zaiyu Wenhu, who was once in power in the Zhou Kingdom, was also killed by the Emperor of the Zhou State! Hehe, I don't believe that above the court of your Qi country, there are no such intrigues and deceitful things, and this Hu Xiangguo has no political enemies above the court! Steward Li drank three glasses of wine in a row and hiccuped and laughed.
Steward Li's words really made Mu Deva fall into contemplation, and then Steward Li continued to say with more anger: "Hu Xiangguo is a smart man, and he is a great hero who rejects the enemy and stands up to the sky, how can he be willing to be defeated in the hands of those treacherous villains? And now that he has a heavy army, in case those of his political enemies force him to be anxious, he suddenly comes to counterattack, I believe that there is no one above your Qi court who is his opponent! And he didn't say that he was going to be bad for the royal family of Qi Kingdom, he was just clearing the villains around him for the emperor! On the side of King Qinqingjun, I believe that no one can object to this high-sounding reason! Therefore, of course, the general trading house, which has suffered greatly from party disputes, must take precautions and establish a good relationship with this Hu Xiangguo, who holds military power, in advance! ”
